I spent a week on the Big Blue Explorer last April.
The boat trips - you will not be able to get your gear on fast enough before you are at the dive site.
The crew is incredible!!!!!!, i will send some photos when i am back at my own comnputer...you will like.
when you get there ask about the Tech divers who were jumping off the top of the mast tower.
one recomendation...bring music, the bartender is amazing and fun. but the only music they have is old disco kerioke...and after a few drinks kerioke is acualy fun.
also buy booze in town it is way cheaper than on the boat and they let you bring your own, that saved us about a million bucks.
I would consider this a five star live a board....with ten star crew
if you have any other questions just ask, i do have lots of pj\hotos if you are interested.
